Clinical Practices and Opinions toward Gastrostomy Use in Patients with Atypical Parkinsonian Syndromes: A National Survey in the UK. Mov Disord Clin Pract 2024. [PMID: 39189113 DOI: 10.1002/mdc3.14196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 08/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/12/2024] [Indexed: 08/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe dysphagia poses a significant challenge for clinicians regarding feeding tube choices, practices, and timing due to a lack of evidence-based guidance. OBJECTIVES To assess national clinical practices and opinions on gastrostomy use in patients with atypical parkinsonian syndromes (APS) across the UK. METHODS Online survey was administered to clinicians and allied health professionals regarding availability of services, current use, perceived advantages, and problems associated with gastrostomy insertion. RESULTS We received responses from 47 respondents across 12 UK centers, including 44 clinicians specialized in APS. Consensus was observed regarding primary indications for gastrostomy insertion and circumstances justifying avoidance of the procedure. Limitations in recommending gastrostomy due to insufficient evidence on safety and outcomes, survival and quality of life were identified. Widespread agreement on delays in gastrostomy discussions was highlighted as a challenge in optimizing patient care, together with variability in current practices and concerns over the lack of a standardized gastrostomy pathway, emphasizing the need for further research to address existing evidence gaps. CONCLUSION This multi-center survey highlights agreement among clinicians on key aspects of indication, challenges, and limitations such as delayed decision-making and the absence of standardized pathways regarding the timing, method, and overall approach to gastrostomy insertion in APS. This study identified next steps to facilitate a more structured approach to future research toward a consensus on best practices for gastrostomy in APS. Addressing these challenges is crucial for enhancing patient outcomes and overall care quality in APS.

J Neurol 2024:10.1007/s00415-024-12623-7. [PMID: 39158732 DOI: 10.1007/s00415-024-12623-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2024] [Revised: 07/29/2024] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 08/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic impact of dysphagia in multiple system atrophy (MSA) remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between dysphagia severity and survival in MSA and to elucidate whether this impact differs between MSA-cerebellar ataxia (MSA-C) and MSA-parkinsonism (MSA-P). METHODS This retrospective study included 297 patients with MSA: 251 met criteria for clinically established MSA and 46 for clinically probable MSA. Among them, 171 had MSA-C and 126 had MSA-P. We evaluated symptomatic dysphagia within 3 years of onset and quantified dysphagia severity using the Hyodo score (0 to 12) through fibreoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) and clinical features, including autonomic dysfunction and vocal cord paralysis. Patients were followed up until death or tracheostomy, and survival factors were analysed using the log-rank test and multivariate Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS Ninety patients developed symptomatic dysphagia within 3 years of onset, and 75 were evaluated for dysphagia severity using FEES. Survival from onset was shorter in patients with dysphagia within 3 years compared to those without (median: 4.2 years vs. 7.3 years; p < 0.001). Symptomatic dysphagia within 3 years of onset was an independent predictor of shorter survival in the multivariate Cox analysis. While the Hyodo score was higher in MSA-P than in MSA-C patients (p = 0.048), the Hyodo score was associated with survival in both MSA-C and MSA-P patients (log-rank p < 0.001 and p = 0.046, respectively). CONCLUSION Symptomatic dysphagia within 3 years of onset predicts shorter survival in MSA-C and MSA-P patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Dysphagia in multiple system atrophy (MSA) is life-threatening and is caused by parkinsonism with cerebellar ataxia as a contributing factor. The present study investigated the relationship between dysphagia severity in MSA and the specific binding ratio (SBR) on dopamine transporter (DaT) SPECT using the Hyodo score, a qualitative scale for use with fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). METHODS Hyodo score's ability to predict aspiration during a FEES examination of 88 patients with MSA was first tested. Then the clinical characteristics, Hyodo score, and SBR of patients with either predominant parkinsonism (MSA-P; n = 11) or cerebellar ataxia (MSA-C; n = 25) who underwent FEES and DaT SPECT simultaneously were compared. RESULTS Logistic regression demonstrated that the Hyodo score was a significant predictive factor of aspiration (p = 0.003). The MSA-P group had a significantly higher Hyodo score (p = 0.026) and lower SBR (p = 0.011) than the MSA-C group while neither group demonstrated any significant difference in disease duration at the FEES examination. Linear regression demonstrated a significant, inverse correlation between the Hyodo score and SBR in the MSA-P (p = 0.044; r = -0.616) and MSA-C (p = 0.044; r = -0.406) groups. When the effect of SBR was removed by analysis of covariance, no significant difference in the Hyodo score remained between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggested an association between presynaptic changes in nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons and dysphagia severity in MSA which largely contributes to the difference in dysphagia severity between MSA-P and MSA-C.

Abstract
Patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA) frequently experience dysphagia but only few studies analyzed its characteristics. The aim of this study was to describe the swallowing characteristics in these patients using fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). In addition, the swallowing abilities in patients with predominantly cerebellar MSA (MSA-C) and predominantly parkinsonian MSA (MSA-P) were compared. Twenty-five patients with MSA (16 MSA-P and 9 MSA-C) were enrolled. Clinical data including age, sex, functional oral intake scale (FOIS) score, body mass index (BMI) and the results of the global disability-unified MSA rating scale (GD-UMSARS) were collected. Three different textures of food (liquid, semisolid, solid) were provided during FEES examination. The characteristics of dysphagia (safety, efficiency, phenotype) and laryngeal movement alterations were analyzed. Delayed pharyngeal phase (92%) and posterior oral incontinence (52%) were the phenotypes more frequently seen. Penetration was more frequent with Liquid (68%), while aspiration occurred only with Liquid (20%). Residues of ingested food were demonstrated both in the pyriform sinus and in the vallecula with all the consistencies. Vocal fold motion impairment was the laryngeal movement alteration most frequently encountered (56%). No significant differences between patients with MSA-P and MSA-C in the dysphagia characteristics and laryngeal movement alterations were found. Patients with MSA frequently experience swallowing impairment and altered laryngeal mobility. Dysphagia characteristics and laryngeal movements alterations seems to be similar in MSA-C and MSA-P.

Abstract
Dysphagia is a clinically relevant problem in Parkinson's disease as well as in atypical Parkinsonian syndromes, such as multiple system atrophy and diseases from the spectrum of 4‑repeat tauopathies, which affect most patients to a varying degree in the course of their disease. This results in relevant restrictions in daily life due to impaired intake of food, fluids, and medication with a subsequent reduction in quality of life. This article not only gives an overview of the pathophysiological causes of dysphagia in the various Parkinson syndromes, but also presents screening, diagnostic and treatment procedures that have been investigated for the different diseases.

Abstract
Dysphagia in People with Parkinson's Disease (PWPD) is expected to occur in most individuals. The manifestation of dysphagia and its salient swallow dysfunction characteristics leading to decreased airway safety are not well understood. The aim of this study was to quantify dysphagia presentation and severity, examine contributors to airway invasion, and explore gender differences in dysphagia manifestation in PWPD. 60 PWPD in clinical, healthcare settings underwent a Videofluoroscopic Swallow Study (VFSS) after referral for complaints of dysphagia. VFSS records and videos were analyzed to obtain dysphagia diagnosis, Videofluoroscopic Dysphagia Scale (VDS) scores, laryngeal vestibule kinematic timings, and Penetration-Aspiration Scale scores. Frequencies of VDS component and PAS scores were examined. MANOVA and logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictors of penetration and aspiration. Pharyngeal stage dysphagia was prevalent throughout PWPD and presented more frequently than oral stage dysphagia. Pharyngeal residue was a significant predictor for aspiration events. Laryngeal vestibule closure reaction time (LVCrt) and duration time (LVCd) were significant predictors of airway invasion, as were bolus consistency and volume. LVCrt, LVCd, and pharyngeal stage VDS scores were significantly altered in men compared to women in PWPD. A broad clinical sample of PWPD displayed atypical frequencies of airway invasion and frequent atypical scores of oral and pharyngeal stage physiologies. Thicker and smaller bolus consistencies significantly reduced the odds of airway invasion. Men and women presented with significantly different swallow physiology including prolonged LVCrt, LVCd, and more frequent atypical scores of pharyngeal residue and laryngeal elevation.Journal instruction requires a country for affiliations; however, these are missing in affiliation [1, 2].

Front Neurol 2023; 13:1081219. [PMID: 36756345 PMCID: PMC9901543 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.1081219] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Non-motor symptoms (NMS) are compulsory clinical features for the clinical diagnosis of multiple system atrophy (MSA), some of which precede motor symptoms onset. To date, few studies have systematically investigated NMS in MSA and the timing of presenting NMS as the disease progresses. Clinically, MSA is difficult to be differentiated from Parkinson's disease (PD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and the differences in NMS between MSA and PD/PSP remain unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the burden of NMS between MSA and PD/PSP and to delineate the timing of NMS presentation relative to the onset of motor symptoms in MSA. Methods A total of 61, 87, and 30 patients with MSA, PD, and PSP, respectively, were enrolled in this study. NMS was systematically assessed in all patients using the NMS scale (NMSS), and the onset of NMS relative to the onset of motor symptoms in MSA was investigated. Results MSA group had higher total NMSS scores (82.15 ± 46.10) than the PD (36.14 ± 30.78) and PSP (50.30 ± 55.05) groups (p < 0.001 overall). The number distribution pattern of the NMS was significantly different among the three parkinsonian disorders (p < 0.001 overall). In total, 85.2% of patients with MSA had more than 10 NMS, which was significantly higher than PD (28.7%) and PSP (33.3%). The frequency and scores of many NMSS subdomains and symptoms were higher in MSA than in PD and PSP (all p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that patients with fainting, lack of motivation, swallowing, and loss of sexual interest could be attributed to MSA rather than PD or PSP, while patients with loss of concentration and forgetfulness were characteristic features of PD or PSP rather than MSA. REM-sleep behavior disorder (RBD), constipation, problems having sex, and loss of sexual interest preceded the motor symptoms onset of MSA by 2.81 ± 4.51, 1.54 ± 6.32, 1.35 ± 4.70, and 0.45 ± 3.61 years, respectively. Conclusion The NMS spectrum in MSA differs from that of PD and PSP. Patients with MSA have a higher NMS burden than patients with PD or PSP. RBD, constipation, problems having sex, and loss of sexual interest may become early diagnostic clinical markers of MSA.

Abstract
Background The prevalence and associated factors of dysphagia in Parkinson's disease (PD) are different in studies conducted in different countries. The purpose of our systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the prevalence of dysphagia in PD and to clarify its associated factors. Methods Two researchers systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang Database, SinoMed and VIP databases and manually searched references in the retrieved articles to identify potential research subjects. The last search was conducted on June 28, 2022. Finally, a total of 58 studies including 60 observations with 20,530 PD patients were included in our meta-analysis. Results The meta-analysis estimated that the pooled prevalence rate of dysphagia in PD was 36.9% (95% CI: 30.7–43.6%) and instrumental examination showed a higher prevalence (57.3%, 95% CI: 44.3–69.1%). Oceania showed the highest prevalence of dysphagia in PD (56.3%) compared to Africa (39.5%), Asia (38.6%), Europe (36.1%) and America (28.9%). Dysphagia in PD was associated with older age, lower body mass index, longer disease duration, higher Hoehn and Yahr stage and levodopa equivalent daily dose, PIGD subtype, severe motor symptoms, drooling and higher levels of depression, and lower quality of life. Conclusions In conclusion, our meta-analysis showed that dysphagia occurs in more than one-third of PD patients and was associated with several demographic characteristics and PD-related characteristics, motor symptoms, non-motor symptoms, as well as decreased quality of life. It deserves early screening, diagnosis, and treatment in clinical practice to prevent serious complications from dysphagia.
